Thune said he had a “fulsome discussion” with Johnson over strategy to pass Trump’s agenda.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune said he had a “fulsome discussion” with Speaker Mike Johnson on Tuesday about their strategy to pass key pieces of President-elect Donald Trump’s agenda, though he joked “it’s as clear as mud.”
“We had a good, fulsome discussion about all the calendar and schedule things we need to get done. And obviously our objective is to work together and make sure we keep everybody going in the same direction,” Thune said.
“I think that — I feel really good about that. We’ll see, now that obviously we’re looking forward to hearing from the president tomorrow. He has a lot to say about all of this,” he continued.
Asked if he was resigned to the single-bill strategy, Thune replied, “whatever it takes to get the job done.”
